NEW YORK – Nick Kyrgios withdrew from the US Open on Thursday. The Australian missed the final Grand Slam tournament of the season.
Kyrgios has battled injuries in recent years and missed most of the 2023 and 2024 seasons that he was about to return this year.
After wrist and knee surgery, he returned to play at the Australian Open, but lost in the first round. This was his first appearance at a major tournament since the 2022 US Open.
Kyrgios performed best in the last Grand Slam event, losing to Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon Finals.
Ranked 13th, he played only five singles matches on the ATP Tour this season.
He will be replaced in the tournament with a player who lost in the final stages of qualifying.
